The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1887-04-23

The ADVOCATE has heen much compliment
ed upon its issue last week, and we gratefully
acknowledge the kind words of our contem-
poraries and friends. We did not print so
large paper for glory, but simply to pre-
serve for future generations some historical
matters and to give a full account of the Semi
Centennial Celebration. To do this, and to
publish local and general news, as usual, and
which we were bound to give our readers, it
was necessary to have increased space. The
publishing of so large paper was quite an
undertaking for a county weekly, but our sup
ply of material was ample and the work was
accomplished without extra force in the me-
chanical department, and but little night
work was done. The edition was much larger
than usual, and we supposed would be ample,
but it was exhausted before 8 o'clock Satur-
day morning, and the demand for several
hundred copies beyond the edition could not
be supplied, much to our regret.

Carroll county is fifty years old, and proud
of it. The Westminster celebration was
grand affair, and Mr.. Greedy, of the weather
bureau, kindly furnished day perfectly suited
for the purpose. But our congratulations to
Carroll county are but half-hearted. She is
certainly old enough to know better, and yet
she often votes the Republican ticket.-Bdt-
timore Argus.
That Carroll county often votes the Repub-
lican ticket, is news in this county. The
Arqus is certainly not familiar with the record
of Carroll. There is no county in the State
where the Democracy is more steadfast.
From 1867 to the present day, Carroll has
never failed to send solid Democratic dele
CATION to the Legislature, and at home only
two sheriffs and judge of the orphans court
have been lost by the party in that time. The
Democratic majority in Carroll, too, has
steadily increased from about 100 in 1867 to
over 700 at the last election. Where else
has the party done better? Where else has
the party done as well? Now let the Argus
extend full congratulations.

Democratic Nominee for Governor.

As the time for the nomination of Gov
ernor approaches, more interest centres
in candidates and discussion increases.
There should be no hasty action, and those
who are bold to rush to the front in the in
terest of particular candidates are generally
guided by personal considerations, rather
than by an interest in the welfare of the
State or party, and are unsafe advisers.
Before Democrats make up their minds
upon so important a matter asthe nomination
of a Chief Magistrate of the State, there
sbould be a calm and unbiased consideration
of the merits, fitness and general qualifca-
tons of all who are named for the position.
To be Governor of the commonwealth OF
MARYLAND is a laudable ambition for any
man, and there can be no improperly In
any, whose qualifications are sufficient, seek
ing it by becoming means; but the dignity OF
the position should not be lowered by I'M
seemly anxiety on the part of aspirants, nor
by the pushing forward of men whose fitness
is not beyond dispute.
The Governor of Maryland should be
man of intimate knowledge of the State and
its interests, and have some experience In
public affairs. He should possess good ex-
ecutive ability, be dignifed and courteous,
and always approachable by the people OF the
State. He should also possess a ready
tongue and pen, for his position frequently
requires him to use both as the representative
of an enlightened, educated and courteous
people.
Besides eminent qualifications, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor should possess
availability. He should be popular with the
masses and one in whom the people have con-
fidence. Neither should he be allied with
faction. There ought never to be faction in
the Democratic party, but unfortunately there
are clashing interests, and it is to be regretted
that there are. With common interest and
a common object, Democrats should stand
together as one man, and it should be the
aim of the rank and file to select man for
Governor who would unite all interests and
lead the party to victory. There are men
who can command both the respect and sup
port of the whole party, and the party will
act wisely and prudently if one of these be Sc
lected. Faction must cease, and personal
friendships be laid aside, if the party would
march to victory in November.

fully illustrated, and the Typography is equal
to the best book work. The rise of Birming-

reality, and much of its success is due to the
boom given it by the newspapers. To qnote

want your cities or towns to go to the front;

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

-
As a rule the poultry yard does not receive
much attention by the busy farmer, and the
same old stock is kept year in and year out,
while the facts show that with very little
intelligent attention poultry pays better than
any stock on the farm. We recommend every
farmer to stock his poultry yard with the
Black Leghorn Breed. Why? Not be-
cause this breed is best for broilers, for it
don't pay to raise the broilers at II and Is
cents each, which is all they will bring at the
earliest season, but because they eat less
than the larger breeds, they are the most
beautiful of all the breeds, and because
they are the greatest egg producers
in the world. My stock is now laying
upon an average 2SS eggs per hen per
year. This is "a dozen, which, at 10cts per
dozen, makes 50. 40 produced by each hen per
year. Can any farmer show such profits from
other stock? But some one will say, 'Do
they lay as well in the winter?' Suppose
they fall off during the cold weather, so as to
bring the average per hen down one-half, that
is to IA eggs per hen, or II dozen. This
would be S1.2O worth of eggs at 10 cents per
dozen. Can any farmer show that other farm
stock pays as well as this? l tell you the
profit from the poultry yard depends
upon the production of eggs. The
magnificent cock superb heads my yard for
the season of 1887, and am selling limited
number of eggs from this stock at $3.50 per
setting of 10, or $3.50 for &c. Call on or ad-

A BIG GOLD BRIcK SwIyDLE.-A New York
evening paper Thursday said '.What bids
fair to develop into a big gold brick swindle
came to light to day at the U. s. assay Office.
Yesterday wellknown and wealthy gentle
man of this city deposited four large bars sup.
posed to be gold with the assayer to be refined
and made into standard gold bars. The gen
tleman said that the bars we're from Califor-
MIA, and were estimated to be worth about
$4,000 EACH or $4,000 for the four, and
that an assay which he had made before
showed the bars to be about 70 per cent. fine.
The bars were received and receipted for in
the usual form, and the gentleman departed
in full confidence that he had $40, 900 in gold
ia the hands of Uncle Sam. The suspicion
of Mr.. Graham, the receiver Of deposits, was
excited by the light weight of the bars, their
specific gravity being only about 8. 90, whereas
the specific gravity of gold is 1873. Samples
were taken from the four bars and assayed,
when it was found that the bars were OF cop
per, with thin wash of gold on the outside.
In short, the four bars turned out to be worth
81 instead of $40, 900.

The Catholic News, Of New York, received
under date of Rome, April IS, the following
cable dispatch: 1.-The Pope has decided the
question of the Knights of Labor in favor of
that organization. This decision will stand so
long as the present method pursued in fur
thering their aiHs prevails. The document
of Cardinal Gibbons has been endorsed. The
Pope further decides that in Canada where a
mandament had been issued against the
Knights, the members Of the Order will re-
ceive absolution on promise of obedience to
future decisions of the Holy See. If the
Knights identify themselves with theories now
being disseminated by certain agitators this
decision in their favor will be revoked -
A startling discovery was made on Sunday
by lady living in the Rue de St. Charles.
She had been absent from Paris for fort
night, and, on returning to her apartment,
which had been untenanted during her So
journ in the country and carefully locked, she
discovered in her bedroom the dead body of
man. She Immediately rushed terror
stricken out of the room and ran down the
stairs calling out for help. The police having
come to her assistance, the body was removed
and examined by a doctor, who stated that
the deceased had succumbed to an apoplectic
stroke. The calling of the dead man was
made easily evident by the discovery in his
pocket of burglars jimmy. pair of knuckle
busters and long sheath knife.
1t is reported from Mexico that syndicate
composed of Chicago capitalists and United
States army officers has purchased tract of
5000, 900 acres lying in the States Of Coahuila,
Durango and chihuahua, in Northern Mexico.
The tract is traversed by the Mexican Central,
and also by the international road, which
Huntington is building from Eagle Pass to
Laredo. Of this tract 900, 900 acres is the
finest cotton land in the country. A compa-
ny composed chiefly of Hartford, Conn, cap
italists, has bought 500,0 acres, lying in
Sonora and Chihuahua, all grazing and agri.
cultural land purchase of 235, 900 acres
has been made in the western part of Chihqa-
hua by Utah men. As this tract is adjoining
the Mormon colony, the purpose of the pur-
chase can be readily guessed.
